11: 50 Ah man I have so many memories with Math Blaster 1 and 2, first computer we had with a sound card these were the first I ever heard from it. GC's voice and the vaguely Dudley DooRight voice of Blasternaut was a fun time. Oddly the first computer (Wanted to say Pc but this was not a Pc and technically it was the second computer but the other was a Outmoded Wang even if I had wanted to fix it no one sold parts for it at the time) was a Tandy 1000, and while my dad got some functions in DOS I remain DOS Illiterate which sucks cause I got a couple games I want to play got the files but I got to start them with Dos Box so I need a DOSbox for dummies.
Does such a book or PDF exist, Clint you'd be the best for me to ask.

Oh man, VRML, that is a trip to nostalgiaville. I used to be on a site called cybertown. com for years. It made heavy use of Blaxxun Contact and there were tons of user-created things you could buy in the virtual mall with your virtual credits. I think I stayed around 7-8 years starting in 1999. It was booming until they went to a pay model, with promises of super futuristic replacement 3D tech that never really happened. Eventually Integrated Virtual Networks (the company that bought out CT and turned it to a pay model, with the unkept promises and whatnot) shut down entirely.

Ahh, Xenophobe for the Lynx is actually pretty cool! I was born in 2001, so I def have not experienced the true nostalgia of big boxed PC games, but you've definitely inspired me for all of it. Right now I only own a few that I was positive would play with my computer or with a secondhand application: Dungeon Siege, Diablo II, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Baldurs Gate 2, Titan Quest, and Myst - but such a wide variety of gifts is awesome. You definitely deserve such recognition, as I'm sure you've introduced a lot of people to more -vintage- electronics.

I hope you cover Mortalus. I've never played ir nor even heard of it, but that box is pulling me in immediately. I don't know what it is about it. Maybe it's triggering Knightmare nostalgia (if you're not aware of that British kids show from the 90s, look up some footage of it. It was amazing)
It looks like a game I'd definitely have looked at longingly in the game store, fully aware we never really had a PC good enough for games.

LGR i have an idea for next edutainment month, can you do a run on the Jumpstart games? I used to play them as a kid and now i can't really find them anywhere. It would be awesome ot be able to show my 7 year old how daddy learned when he was a kid. Keep up the great work on the videos, love it.

I have an IR wireless mouse. Works fine, you just need your desk set up correctly so the transceiver on the mouse has a clear line of sight to the transceiver connected to the PC.
Of course not as convenient as a 2. 4g signal, but all this stuff was before wifi etc.

I can't believe someone just sent you a Lynx. Those things are not cheap. I was looking at getting one myself. but that much for an older handheld with a rather crappy screen. If you Google BennVenn he has a drop in screen replacement with a modern LCD for like $40.
